Possible Side Effects
The following is an overview of potential side effects of implantation of a testicular prosthesis. Although rare, you should be aware that these adverse effects can occur. These will be discussed with you in detail at the time of your initial consultation.
Scientists are continually seeking new materials that are more biocompatible. The most common biocompatible material available today for testicular implants is silicone, which is used in many medical and consumer products.
As a natural reaction to any device placed in the body, scar tissue may form around a testicular implant. This is called a capsule. In some men, the capsule can contract, causing a condition known as fibrous capsular contracture. This can result in a hardening of the testicular implant, which may cause discomfort or pain. Fortunately, medical research has shown incidences of fibrous capsular contracture to be low in testicular implant cases.
